摘要
The neuroblastoma SK-ER3 cell line obtained by stable transfection of the human SK-N-BE cell line is proposed as a model for the study of estrogen receptor activity in cells of neural origin, In the SK-ER3 cell line the estrogen receptor, once activated, initiates a differentiation program leading to growth arrest, morphological changes, and acquisition of the dopaminergic phenotype, In the absence of estrogens, this program can be triggered by IGF-I, which can activate the unliganded estrogen receptor via the ras-pathway, It is proposed that this model system might recapitulate the events occurring in vivo during the differentiation of the nervous system and that IGF-I may play an important role in the activation of estrogen receptor at the very early stage of brain development affecting the differentiation of a number of hypothalamic and extrahypothalamic brain regions.
